Streamtease Optic Fly – streamer fly tying

The Optic fly was released by ABU in 1967 as “a streamer of tremendous killing power” – and that label wasn’t all wrong. The Swedish tackle manufactor actually sold 80.000 Optic flies in the first year alone. The Streamtease is still a fabulous fly when trout feed on sticklebacks, minnows or young-of-year fry. This pattern has given me some beautiful lake-living wild brown trout.

I’m glad you dropped by. I am an outdoor writer, a fly fisherman and photographer. I live in Denmark but travel all over Scandinavia – camping, canoeing, float tubing, wading and fishing for anything with fins. And this is what this corner of my site is all about.

You will find lots of articles, blogs and photos in here… mostly on fly fishing, fly tying and classic… or classy fly tackle.
